What happens when one of the world's most well-known spiritual teachers turns her back on everything she built? And what can we learn from it? In this episode, I share my raw reflections after reading Doreen Virtue's book Deceived No More, a journey that stirred deep inquiry into the path of false light, spiritual sovereignty, and the rise of fear-based doctrine disguised as salvation. Doreen's story is one that many of us were impacted by. Her teachings were pivotal for me, and for many of you listening. So when she renounced it all to follow a fundamentalist Christian path, I had to understand… why? This isn't about judging her choices, it's about exploring the deeper layers behind these spiritual pivots. What leads someone to abandon a lifetime of healing work? Is it true spiritual revelation… or the exhaustion of carrying it all alone? We dive into the rise of false light, the distortion of Christ Consciousness, and what it means to walk a path of true divine connection, one rooted in empowerment, not fear. f you've ever questioned your spiritual path, felt confused about teachings that once felt like truth, or needed permission to reclaim your own knowing, this episode is for you. You get to trust yourself. You get to be sovereign in your connection. And you don't need fear to lead your spiritual walk. Let's walk through this together, lovingly, honestly, and with deep reverence for truth. If this resonates, share your thoughts below and let me know what stood out to you most.
In this illuminating and transformative episode, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Thomas Jones, widely known as The Woke Prophet, for a powerful conversation that ventures deep into the realms of spiritual awakening, unseen forces, and the journey of reconnecting with one's divine assignment.Together, they explore the profound intersection of consciousness, healing, and spiritual responsibility — inviting listeners to rethink everything they believe about themselves, the world around them, and the invisible dimensions that shape our lives. Thomas shares the raw and riveting story of his awakening following a life-changing injury, and how that crisis became the catalyst for revelations about energy, karma, possession, and the higher truths that govern human existence.This conversation brings clarity, depth, and perspective to the mysteries many feel but struggle to articulate — making it a must-listen for seekers, healers, and anyone sensing that life holds far more than meets the eye.Connect With The Woke Prophet (Thomas Jones)

Practicing the Spiritual Gifts | Part 8: A Final Charge | Q&AThe New Testament names 21 different gifts, which fall into three broad categories—power, word, and love. Though these gifts have sometimes been misunderstood or misused, Scripture presents them as essential for the life of the church.

A conversation touching on school movies and rounding out our exploration of the spiritual gift of tongues, from 1 Corinthians 14.
In this session, Athina Krol reveals the sacred art of Isis Sexual Alchemy, a feminine, devotional path of divine union, and how it differs from modern Sex Magick practices. This session takes you into the ancient Egyptian mystery schools where sexual energy wasn't used for external manifestation or desire, it was a sacred alchemy of creation, purification, and divine remembrance. You'll understand why these teachings were suppressed, how they are being reawakened through the Priestess lineages, and how to begin reclaiming this sacred power within your own body. Athina shares how sexual alchemy works as a process of inner transformation, activating the heart–womb current, purifying ancestral imprints, and aligning your sexual energy with divine service. This is not about manipulation of energy, it's about becoming the vessel for the frequency of Ma'at: truth, integrity, and cosmic harmony. We Cover •Understand the true purpose of sexual alchemy as taught in the Isis Temples, inner union, remembrance, and service to the Divine. •Learn how modern Sex Magick focuses on external manifestation, while Isis Alchemy refines energy inward for spiritual awakening. •Explore how the feminine body is already the temple, designed to channel and hold divine frequencies. •Discover the importance of purification, activation, and heart–womb alignment as the foundation of sacred sexuality. •Uncover how trauma, lineage wounds, and energetic imprints can block your creative power, and how to clear them. •Remember that true power flows through Ma'at, truth, harmony, and divine integrity. •Reconnect to your divine feminine energy as a current of creation, healing, and abundance.

Preaching Series October-November 2025 “Spiritual Gifts: My Role & Responsibility in the Church” cflTds a/bfg M Df08nLdf d]/f] e'dLsf / lhDd]jf/L As mentioned earlier, we were hoping to do a series on Values of NRC? Cross-Way. However, I feel convicted these days about something closer to the believer's lives, need of this season of the church's life. I am feeling (and asked) that a series on Spiritual Gifts is more urgent to encourage believer's to take active part/responsibility of their faith and in the church. (Values would have been another “abstract” ideas, great ideals that would seem a step removed from personal lives, which we will do some day) Next few weeks will focus on NRC Churches, considering the programs going on like Youth Conference, NRC National Conference, and Pastoral Formation, we will have guest speaker lined up for Oct 25th. (We can also ask one NRC pastor to preach one Saturday if possible.) Spiritual Gifts are special gifts given to each and every believer. It is God's grace. He gives as he determines (not our wishes). It is gifts of the Spirit (not simply physical talents) freely given to each and every believer to serve for the edification of his church. (see texts below). Spiritual Gifts, by name is given by the Holy Spirit. He works according to his character for his own mission in his style and rhythm, sometimes in mysterious ways. We know Him, and his desires revealed to us in His Word. Spiritual gifts require us to be obedient to God's character, our calling and giftings. We have talents, way our lives are wired, network of relationships we live in, our placements (locations) and opportunities. With life's possibilities we are able to learn, live, know, earn, spend, enjoy everything given in this life can be used in tandem with my Spiritual Gifts, purpose is always the same – to Love God (bring him honor and glory) and to love our neighbor (to watch them grow bear fruit and flourish to their potential God has made them with their set of Spiritual Gifts). That's how God's Kingdom expands, and His glory fills the earth. This is also our Thanksgiving (20th Anniversary) series. The focus is on each member are especially wired and gifted with their skills and talents to build the Body of Christ. We must and culture towards the church. As a body of Christ, each of us are vital organs, 1 Corinthians 12, which is the foundations of understanding about the Spiritual Gifts, and then 1 Corinthians 13 & 14 complete the discussions on Spiritual Gifts. So we will focus this series on Everybody's peculiar role and responsibility in building the body of Christ, as we are gifted, not necessarily as we wish or want.

When we hear the term spiritual gifts, most Christians see it as this mystical, almost magical work of God that comes over you, and all of a sudden, you can speak in tongues or heal people, but is that how the Bible describes spiritual gifts in practice?The Pentecostal movement has, in many ways, driven the conversation about spiritual gifts and the way that we use language to discuss them. Even many Reformed Christians have been affected by their teaching and often describe the work of the Holy Spirit through gifts as something so miraculous and supernatural that their operation must be opposed to ordinary means. But Paul, who is the apostle that teaches the most about spiritual gifts, doesn't treat them that way. In Romans 1, he plainly talks about imparting spiritual gifts to the church in Rome and in Corinthians and Timothy, he talks about spiritual gifts as if they can be practiced and built up in a way that suggests that they are not as “magical” as the Pentecostals would have us think. So here's the question: If spiritual gifts are not opposed to ordinary means, how should we think of spiritual gifts and their use in the church?Timecodes00:00:00 Intro00:01:01 Miracle of God's grace00:06:21 Healing is a grace of God00:14:57 Diversity of gifts00:20:28 Gift of language a grace00:28:59 Gifts that are hard to see as pure miraculous manifestations00:42:26 Given at times to unbelievers00:52:06 Given to all believersProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

My Story Talk 31 Life after Mattersey (1) Welcome to Talk 31 in our series where I'm reflecting on God's goodness to me throughout my life. In this talk I shall begin to talk about our life and ministry after we left Mattersey. I'll explain why I decided to retire from Mattersey when I did and why we moved to Devon. I'll describe my continuing involvement with Mattersey for a further 12 years and conclude by outlining our wider ministry in Europe. Why I decided to retire when I did In 2004 both Eileen and I had reached the age of 65. As was customary for women at that time, Eileen had retired as Matron of the College five years previously and I had told the Lord that, unless he clearly showed me that I was to stay on, I would retire as Principal when I was 65. First and foremost, we both wanted only to do what the Lord wanted and as we prayed about it became convinced that the time was right for our departure. Our decision was based on several facts. The Lord had not given us any indication that I should stay on, and he had clearly shown me that the man who would be appointed as my successor would be the man of his choosing. And, as I mentioned in an earlier talk, I had already discussed the matter with other leaders who had agreed with me that the timing was right. It was not as if my relationship with Mattersey was at an end. I was not retiring from Mattersey. I was retiring as its Principal. Increasing requests for my ministry overseas had meant that a decision had to be made. I could not do justice to my role as Principal and accept so many invitations to minister elsewhere. But that did not mean that I could not continue to teach in the College as a visiting lecturer, and, at the kind invitation of successive principals, I continued to do so for another 12 years. Why we moved to Devon Of course we had always known that we would have to move because the house we were living in belonged to the College and would be needed by my successor. And we knew that we would have to move immediately. That's why we were considering our options two or three years beforehand. Colin Whittaker had written to me encouraging me to move right away from Mattersey and Eileen and I both felt that this would be wise. For one thing, the new principal would almost certainly want to make some changes and it would be easier both for him and us if we were not living close by and being asked by our friends in the local church if we approved! Apart from that, our first consideration, wherever we moved, was to be sure that there was a good local AoG church within easy reach where we could become members. Of course, there were plenty of places like that all over the country, so why did we choose Devon? One option might be to move near to one of our children, but as they were all serving the Lord in different parts of the country and might move on at any time, that might not be the wisest course of action. So we felt it would be better both for them and for us if we were to move to a part of the country where the grandchildren would enjoy coming for their holidays. And we could think of no better place than Devon. I had been there on holiday as a teenager, and it was there that I had felt God calling me to the ministry. We knew that there were three AoG churches in Torbay, one in Torquay, one in Paignton, and one in Brixham, where Bob Hyde, one of our former students, was the full-time pastor and leader of the ministry team. Bob had invited me down to minister on at least two occasions and we were very happy with the way the church was structured and with the spiritual atmosphere in the meetings. Neither of the other churches had invited us to minister and so we knew very little about them, so we started to seriously consider fellowshipping with the Brixham assembly if we were able to afford to move into the Torbay area. I phoned Bob and asked if he would be happy about this, explaining that I was not looking for any position in the church and that my ministry would be further afield. For two or three years we had been looking at property prices in the area and, as it was not convenient to make regular 600 mile round trips to view properties as they came on the market, decided on a new property that was to be built in Paignton. We were able to view one just like it and choose a plot where another was to be built – a four-bedroom house with spectacular views over open countryside and the sea, the nearest beach being only a ten-minute drive away. We decided very quickly that this would be the house for us and, because of God's wonderful provision, were able to buy it in 2003 and move in immediately after we retired from Mattersey in July 2004. We spent ten very happy years there until we felt the Lord prompting us to move into Brixham to be nearer to the church in 2013, more of which later. Meanwhile I continued to teach at Mattersey and expand our travelling ministry overseas. Continuing Ministry at Mattersey It was always a great joy to revisit Mattersey each year to teach various M.Th. courses, specialising on The Baptism in the Holy Spirit, Spiritual Gifts, and Divine Healing. Each time we stayed with our friends, William and Anthea Kay who were still living close to Mattersey and enjoyed renewed fellowship with them. It was on one such occasion, in September 2005, that Eileen was involved in a serious accident. I was teaching a combined class of students in the College chapel when I was surprised to see Dr Dave Allen come in at the back. He walked quietly forward and approached me on the platform. Then he whispered to me, You need to go. Eileen is all right, but she's been involved in an accident. I'll take over here. They'll tell you more in the office. The accident had happened less than a mile outside Mattersey on the Retford Road. Someone, I don't remember who, drove me there immediately and the first thing I saw was a fire engine and an ambulance. I was so glad that Dave Allen had already told me that Eileen was all right, or I would almost certainly have feared the worst. I later discovered a voice-mail message on my phone, which had been switched onto silent while I was lecturing. It was Eileen saying, David, I've been in an accident. You need to come. I can't breathe… … and her voice petered out. I'm so grateful that I didn't receive that message until after I knew she was all right. It was the airbag that had saved her, but the pressure of it was causing the difficulty in her breathing. The accident was not Eileen's fault. She was driving into Retford to do some shopping when another car coming in the opposite direction overtook a cyclist on a blind bend and crashed head-on into Eileen. As both cars were probably travelling at 50 m.p.h., the full force of the impact would have been about 100 m.p.h. Both cars were a write-off and the other driver was told that she would probably never walk again as a result of the injuries she suffered. Eileen escaped with two cracked ribs from which she recovered relatively quickly. Our insurance company provided a courtesy car for us and a few days later we drove home to Devon after I had finished the series of lectures I had been giving. Fortunately, we had enough money to buy a replacement vehicle without waiting for the insurance settlement to come through, as less than a week later I was committed to teach an MA course at the Continental Theological Seminary in Brussels. We were both so grateful for the loving care of Trude and Sylve, twin sisters from our church in Brixham who looked after Eileen during my absence. I have always been amazed at Eileen's patience and fortitude in situations like this and the courage she displayed in face of adversity. I have already mentioned this when speaking about the accident which prevented her from travelling with me to Burkina Faso. But these qualities became even more evident in later life about which I will say more in a later talk. A Wider Ministry Apart from my continuing input at Mattersey in the years that followed our departure to Devon in 2004, much of my ministry involved teaching in Bible Colleges and speaking at National Conferences overseas. Invitations came from former students and because of contacts through EPTA, PEF, and the PWF. Eileen was usually able to accompany me and between 2005 and 2012 I ministered in churches, colleges and conferences in Belgium, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, India, Ireland, Luxembourg, Madeira, Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Portugal, Réunion, Slovakia, South Africa, Sweden, and Ukraine. In this talk we'll just be referring to countries in Europe. Some of these places I visited only once, while others, like Finland and Belgium, were countries where I taught in their Bible colleges annually. The subject was almost invariably connected with the work of the Holy Spirit – his person and work, the baptism in the Spirit, spiritual gifts, and healing. Of particular importance was the time I spent with pastors and national leaders sharing with them on how to encourage spiritual gifts in the local church. Places I visited only once during these years were Sweden (05), Ukraine (06), Poland (07), and Slovakia (08). Eileen accompanied me on the trips to Sweden, for a week's teaching in Kristinehamn, and Slovakia, for an EPTA conference in the vicinity of Bratislava. I travelled unaccompanied to Poland to teach for a week in the Warsaw Theological Seminary and preach in the local Pentecostal church. But when I visited Ukraine I was part of a three-man team from our church in Brixham. As it was my first (and only) visit, Bob Hyde and Mark Goodyear, both of whom had been before, let me do most of the teaching. In all the churches we visited the subject they asked me to speak on was spiritual gifts. There, as is sadly the case in so many places elsewhere, there is very little teaching on this important subject, so when the opportunity was given in each church, at the end of the meeting the people flocked forward for prayer. Visits I made to Ireland (06, 07, 08) were mainly in connection with my new role as a member of the Board of Governors of the Irish AoG Bible College in Greystones, a seaside village a few miles south of Dublin, where Daniel Caldwell, a former Mattersey student was now the Principal and where several other Mattersey graduates like Roy Leith and Sandy Tutty were now involved . I also had the privilege of preaching at their graduation service in September 07. Eileen and I had often visited our friends John and Ann Leese in Luxembourg as we were en route for our holidays in France or Germany and were always grateful for their hospitality. And in 2006 I was asked to be the guest speaker at their church's weekend retreat held in Arlon in nearby Belgium. It was always a joy to renew fellowship with our friends from that wonderful church. I also preached there in September 2012 after teaching at CTS in Brussels and before driving on for a week's teaching in churches in the Paris area of France. Over a period of about 20 years we regularly went to France for our holidays and I would often end up preaching in one of the ADD (AoG) churches there. I don't have detailed dates for these occasions, but I remember preaching in Auch, Bordeaux, Clermont Ferrand, Metz, Mourrenx, Toulouse, and Versailles, sometimes with less than 24 hours notice! But perhaps the most interesting part of France we ever visited was the Ile de la Réunion. To which I will return next time. The countries I visited most frequently were Germany (3x), Portugal (4x), Belgium (8x), and Finland (11x). With the exception of Germany, this was because I was annually teaching in their Bible Colleges. Having said that, in 2009 I did teach for a week at Kniebis in the Black Forest at the European Theological Seminary, a beautiful college belonging to the Church of God, where the EPTA conference was to be held the following week. And in 2007, after attending a PEF related conference in Oslo, Norway, we flew to Germany to conduct seminars at the national pastors' conference of the BFP (Bund Freikirchlicher Pfingstgemeinden), the nearest equivalent to the AoG in Germany. It was also in Oslo that I bumped into Werner Fraas, the president of the Volksmission group of German churches and was invited to conduct a tour of their churches in southern Germany in 2008. Eileen always remembered this well as we slept in a least ten different beds during the course of two weeks' ministry there before driving on to the EPTA conference in Slovakia. I first visited Portugal in 1982 for an EPTA conference, but it was many years later that I had the opportunity to teach in their Bible College and preach in their churches. Harry Osland was an American missionary who, at the time, was director of the Portuguese Bible College in Fanhoes near Lisbon. It so happened that in 2006 he was in an MA class I was teaching in Belgium at the Continental Theological Seminary and he asked me if I would be willing to come to teach in Portugal. So for three years (07, 08, and 09) I spent a week or so in Portugal, teaching in their college and preaching in their churches. Harry not only organised the itinerary for me but also arranged for several of my books to be translated into Portuguese. He and his wife Beth became good friends and Eileen and I really appreciated their kindness and hospitality. Another contact I had with Portugal was Reginaldo Azevedo de Melo, a Brazilian brother based in Portugal who came to Mattersey as one of our students. With the cooperation of Pastor Luis Reis, who knew me through PEF, after he graduated Reginaldo arranged an itinerary for me preaching in several churches. Our trips the Portugal gave us a taste for Portuguese cuisine, something we also experienced in Madeira, a Portuguese overseas territory, and popular holiday destination because of its pleasant climate all the year round. We first went there in 2008 courtesy of our friends William and Anthea Kay who let us use their lovely time-share apartment. This inspired us to get our own time-share and we returned for three weeks in 2010 when I was asked to preach in the small AoG church in Funchal, about which I shall say more later. My ministry in Belgium was due first to my work with the International Correspondence Institute, which I referred to in an earlier talk, and secondly, to my contact with CTS, the Continental Theological Seminary, through fellowship with friends in EPTA. Roland and Judy Dudley, American AoG missionaries, had led the Portuguese Bible College back in the eighties and had moved on to Sint-Pieters-Leeuw near Brussels to head up CTS. At Roland's invitation I taught on the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, Spiritual Gifts, and Divine Healing on their MA programme for eight consecutive years (2005-2012). I was often asked to preach in their chapel services when we saw many students receive the baptism in the Spirit. Eileen and I were housed in one of the well-equipped apartments in the college. We always enjoyed our visits to Belgium and took the opportunity to admire the wonderful architecture in cities like Brussels and Ghent as well as preaching in churches there. And every year we were at CTS made sure that we made a visit to the outlet store of a nearby chocolate factory and bring back plenty in time for Christmas! And finally Finland, a country we visited even more often that Belgium. Apart from my contact with Teuvo Valkama that I mentioned in an earlier talk, it was friends I met at PEF and EPTA meetings who were the main instigators of our visits to that beautiful country. I first met Arto Hamalainnen at the ICCOWE conference in Brighton in June 1991 but later got to know him much better as we both served on the PEF Presidium, he as secretary and I as vice-chairman. Arto was the Missions Director for the Finnish Pentecostal Churches and was responsible for recommending me for my first visit to Ethiopia in 2005 and my visit to India in 2010, about which I will say more next time. But it was Pasi Parkkila, the Director of the Finnish Bible College, who was responsible for most of our visits to Finland. I first met Pasi at an EPTA conference – I don't remember which, possibly at CTS in 02 or in Nantwich in 04 – but he asked me if I would be willing to teach on their MA programme at Iso Kirja, which incidentally means The Great Book – what a name for a Bible College! So, apart from 2010 when I was too unwell to go, I taught at Iso Kirja the same subjects as I was teaching at CTS every year from 2005 to 2012. But apart from teaching at Iso Kirja I also visited Finland for the EPTA conference in 06 and was the guest speaker at their National Pastors' Conference both in 08 and 09. Eileen invariably travelled with me on our visits to Iso Kirja when most years we were accommodated in a comfortable log cabin overlooking a beautiful lake. Tuula, Pasi's wife, a primary school teacher, kindly loaned us her car throughout our visits which gave us a measure of independence while we were there enabling us to drive into the nearest town, Keuruu, or to Jyväskylä a larger town a little further away. We were also able to visit a number of churches during our trips, including one at Seinäjoki where outstanding miracles of healing were regularly taking place in their meetings. From the reports I was hearing I could hardly imagine that there was anyone in the church left with a problem, but after my preaching some fifty or sixty people came forward for prayer, all expecting to be personally prayed for. And as we had to communicate through an interpreter this inevitable took twice as long as usual. An hour and a half after the end of the meeting I laid hands on the last person and was feeling in need of prayer myself. I was extremely tired and hungry but felt I had learnt a lesson – even when miracles are happening there will always be people in need of prayer. Perhaps the final thing to say about Finland is that at the request of Aikamedia, the Finnish Publishing Department, at least four of my books have been published in Finnish. I am encouraged that my teaching in Finland still goes on even though I have not been there in person since 2012. The Lord had certainly extended the scope of my ministry and confirmed that it was right for us to leave Mattersey when we did. Next time we'll talk about our trips to Reunion, Africa and India.

Preaching Series October-November 2025 “Spiritual Gifts: My Role & Responsibility in the Church” cflTds a/bfg M Df08nLdf d]/f] e'dLsf / lhDd]jf/L As mentioned earlier, we were hoping to do a series on Values of NRC? Cross-Way. However, I feel convicted these days about something closer to the believer's lives, need of this season of the church's life. I am feeling (and asked) that a series on Spiritual Gifts is more urgent to encourage believer's to take active part/responsibility of their faith and in the church. (Values would have been another “abstract” ideas, great ideals that would seem a step removed from personal lives, which we will do some day) Next few weeks will focus on NRC Churches, considering the programs going on like Youth Conference, NRC National Conference, and Pastoral Formation, we will have guest speaker lined up for Oct 25th. (We can also ask one NRC pastor to preach one Saturday if possible.) Spiritual Gifts are special gifts given to each and every believer. It is God's grace. He gives as he determines (not our wishes). It is gifts of the Spirit (not simply physical talents) freely given to each and every believer to serve for the edification of his church. (see texts below). Spiritual Gifts, by name is given by the Holy Spirit. He works according to his character for his own mission in his style and rhythm, sometimes in mysterious ways. We know Him, and his desires revealed to us in His Word. Spiritual gifts require us to be obedient to God's character, our calling and giftings. We have talents, way our lives are wired, network of relationships we live in, our placements (locations) and opportunities. With life's possibilities we are able to learn, live, know, earn, spend, enjoy everything given in this life can be used in tandem with my Spiritual Gifts, purpose is always the same – to Love God (bring him honor and glory) and to love our neighbor (to watch them grow bear fruit and flourish to their potential God has made them with their set of Spiritual Gifts). That's how God's Kingdom expands, and His glory fills the earth. This is also our Thanksgiving (20th Anniversary) series. The focus is on each member are especially wired and gifted with their skills and talents to build the Body of Christ. We must and culture towards the church. As a body of Christ, each of us are vital organs, 1 Corinthians 12, which is the foundations of understanding about the Spiritual Gifts, and then 1 Corinthians 13 & 14 complete the discussions on Spiritual Gifts. So we will focus this series on Everybody's peculiar role and responsibility in building the body of Christ, as we are gifted, not necessarily as we wish or want.

Ep. 146 Is heightened intuition a gift or a trauma response? Why is it stronger for some than others, and what is the science behind why some people have ‘psychic' abilities? Laura Day, world-renowned intuitive and bestselling author of Practical Intuition and her new book The Prism, is diving into why our unique childhood experiences & ‘wounds' can determine the ways in which our intuition may express as an adult. Laura grew up in a chaotic home affected by suicide, manic depression, and narcissism, effectively raising her siblings alone, and is sharing how her beginning actually became the portal to discovering her intuitive gifts. She breaks down the important difference between intuition and wisdom, and why intuition can be both a superpower and a stumbling block depending on how we develop it. HERE'S THE JUICE - Breaking down how she developed her gift for intuition through trauma, highlighting how many of our childhoods are prone to trauma due to lack of power - Laura shares her early life experiences – coming from three generations of physicians, and how that gave her a data-driven approach to intuition - Why the very things that challenged us most often become our points of greatest strength and tangible steps to identify our challenges and take small steps to create the life we want - The importance of avoiding the trap of constantly trying to “change yourself” and instead approaching the mind as a mechanical system that may only need a small change - The crucial difference between intuition and wisdom - Why intuition is a double-edged sword and when we should and shouldn't listen to it TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Laura speaking on Gift and trauma of intuition 03:09 Laura Day's Story 09:24 The science behind intuition 15:38 The role of trauma in intuition 22:09 The mechanics of change and the importance of small changes 29:32 Understanding intuition and its limits 35:30 Empowered realistic thinking 36:21 Navigating self-perception and growth 40:07 The power of reparenting and healing 51:47 Understanding ergo centers and intuition 01:05:02 Setting goals and embracing change MY MUSIC IS OFFICIALLY OUT NOW ⭐️❤️
